Manatee Cruise and Alligators

We spent one day of our vacation traveling to the everglades to enjoy a manatee cruise and see the alligators.  The manatee cruise was great!  We had to split up boys and girls since we couldn't all fit on one boat, but we all saw a lot of manatee.  They came up to the boat and we even saw a baby!  They seem so sweet and they're very cute!  After the manatee cruise, we headed to a park to see alligators.  We walked the boardwalk and then took a drive where we saw alligators of all different sizes.  We had to cut our trip a little short because a storm rolled in.  What a fun day!

I thought these trees were so cool!
